Nope. The relevant question was your misrepresentation of what I wrote. All other comments were inferior to that.
"So what is it about a high mutation rate that would confer a survival advantage to a bacteria under stress?"
It is obvious that it is searching a 'design-space' for potential alternatives, much like a Thompson Array; an intelligently-designed search method.
I love your tagline. Who says God doesn’t have a sense of humor.
Potential alternatives = mutated DNA of a gene that produces a protein that helps overcome the stress.
Outcome = higher mutation rate increases amount of genetic variation that is selected from by environmental pressure; i.e. evolution through natural selection of genetic variation.
